The name however was survived in the patronym Inglorion and perhaps in the Quenya form Ingalaurë. Because of that, some people speculate that Gildor Inglorion was Finrod's son, but there is much evidence to the contrary.

Etymology

Inglor in the early appearances was interpreted as "heart-gold" (RootsIND and G-LOR).

Although the name Inglor(ion) is not analyzed in the later works, there is a similarity to Finarfin's mother-name, Ingalaurë. Therefore according to the more recent background, Inglor could be the Sindarin interpretation of that name, having a new etymology and meaning ("Vanya-gold").
